alt_pomonaLook, both Poppy and I just had one of those moments where we realised we'd been entirely uninformative. With good reason, mind.
Briefly: two dozen of our young idiots formed a duelling club to emulate Rabastan and Dolohov's duel demonstration from October. (Despite their very clear instructions to do no such practice unsupervised.)
It only came out because they were attempting to fix their own hexes, and failed utterly in two cases. Poppy's making faces at me - it's more complicated than that, but I'll let her tell that part. And I gather there's another five where there would have been lifelong implications if they hadn't identified it now.
At any rate, Poppy's had her hands entirely full ever since, and I've had my share, as more of the young idiots than I'd like are from my house. (Including one of my Prefects - I am so disappointed in him that I haven't even been able to yell at him properly.)
Our staff meeting on Wednesday was a dozen kinds of chaos, but we've mostly settled on what happens next. Rabastan and Dolohov were - and I gather from Auri, still are - furious and have claimed the right to exert punishment, though they're showing a measure of restraint. The investigation is only going as fast as it is because one of the lot took extensive analytical notes. Everyone involved wants to make sure we get them all the first time, before doling out punishments.
Molly, Arthur, Frank, Alice, Sirius: From everything I know, none of your lot (and I include Harry and Justin in that list) were involved, though it's not clear how many students knew and didn't snitch. I do expect it's going to be deeply uncomfortable for a bit in the dorms, all told.
I do intend to see if I can get Auri to tell me a bit more this weekend, but there's a bit of patience required: she had Dolores observing her classes on Wednesday as well. (That is an entire other issue, mind.)
